Give In

Today I said I would write a song
With a melody that feels like my very own
And maybe that song
It would be so good
And I would suddenly feel like I thought I would
So I close my eyes and I feel so small
I’m alive inside, inside the dream of it all
And the words will come
And the blood will rush
And I will just give in
I’ll just, I’ll just give in
I'll just give in
I'll just give in
Today I said I would take my time
And allow it all to be
And I’d watch it all fall in line
I am ripe and I am ready
I have faith like it’s a sin
I am standing right beside you
If you’d just give in
You just give in
Woah woah woah
This is just one thing
I don’t have to be
I don’t have to be this one thing
So I close my eyes and I feel so small
I’m alive inside the dream of it all
And I'd just give in
And I'd just give in
And I'd just give in, mmm

If Not

Caught in a moment, screen the call
Stay in it, or lose it all
I’m committed but I don’t quite know the way
Sometimes I don’t wanna play
Make one decision, take a bow
Find a vision, find a how
This collision, what I know and what I doubt
I’m standing at the door, unsure, unsure but
If not now then when?
If not here then where?
If not me, if not me
Then who, then who, if not me then
If not now then when?
If not here then where?
If not me, if not me
Then who, then who, if not me then
Why is everything about me?
Me me me
I try to write another song, it’s about me
I’m so sick of singin’, I’m so sick of singin’ ‘bout me
But I’m singin’, Oh
Mmmmmm (Why is everything about me?)
Mmmmmm (Why is everything about me?)
Da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da
Here in the summer, in the night
By the water, by the tide
I can see it, checkin’ out and checkin’ in
Who’s gonna tell him that there’s no winner?
If not now then when?
If not here then where?
If not me, if not me
Then who, then who, if not me then
If not now then when?
If not here then where?
If not me, if not me
Then who, then who, if not me then
Why is everything about me?
Me me me
I try to write another song, it’s about me
I’m so sick of singin’, I’m so sick of singin’ ‘bout me
But I’m singin’, Oh
Mmmmmm (Why is everything about me?)
Mmmmmm (Why is everything about me?)
Oh and I’m not wakin’ up from this
I’m not wakin’ up from this
I’m not wakin’ up from this
If not me, if not me
Why is everything
Why is everything about me?
Me me me
I try to write another song, it’s about me
I’m so sick of singin’, I’m so sick of singin’ ‘bout me
But I’m singin’, Oh
Why is everything about me?
Me me me
I try to write another song, it’s about me
I’m so sick of singin’, I’m so sick of singin'
Woah woah woah, mmm

Permission

The old man in the underground
With his back against the wall
He sits still with his head down
And a cardboard sign with a desperate call
I’ve got a wallet full of cash
But all my dreams have gone to ash
And I’m not sure who these tears are for
Eastbound to Broadview
Already miss you and
Nobody'd know it
From lookin' at the sky
Cause the weather doesn't change
Just cause things are feelin’ strange
So I will take this break in the clouds as
My permission
My permission
Oh I will take this break in the clouds as
A moment that I can breathe
I think that's what I need
My permission
My permission
My permission
A moment that I can breathe
I think that’s what I need, mmm
All the time in the world on a silver platter
Well isn’t that all you’ve ever asked for?
Cause all you’ve ever asked for is here
But in the rearview mirror
Is the place you thought you were goin’
Then suddenly what matters
Isn’t on that silver platter
And you feel like you’ve been tricked
And your thoughts can make you sick
Now you’re lookin’ to the sky thinkin’
It’s a win if I get by
So I will take this break in the clouds as
My permission
My permission
Oh I will take this break in the clouds as
A moment that I can breathe
I think that’s what I need
My permission
My permission
My permission
A moment that I can breathe
A moment that I can breathe
I think that’s what I need
I think that’s what I need
I think that’s what I need
I think that’s what I need
I think that’s what I need
I think that’s what I need
My permission
My permission
I think that’s what I need

The Finish Line

Wait til mornin’
Wait til night
The time is never right
And I’m stuck in motion
Paralyzed
I’m a dizzying sight
Trace my steps
And I’m runnin’ the same race
I ran yesterday
Lookin’ for the finish line
Where it ends and where it begins
It’s hard to understand
I’m tryin'
Tryin’ to see where it ends
And where it begins
Oh will I know if I find
The finish line?
Oh will I know if I find
The finish line?
The finish line
The finish line
But how would I know to let go
If no one told me
And everything that you know
You learn the hard way
Oh and somedays you don’t know
If it’s forward or back
That you’re goin’
Lookin’ for the finish line
Where it ends and where it begins
It’s hard to understand
I’m tryin'
Tryin’ to see where it ends
And where it begins
Oh will I know if I find
The finish line?
Oh will I know if I find
The finish line?
The finish line
The finish line
Wait til mornin’
Wait til night
See what comes tomorrow
When tomorrow brings a different light
It’s a tirin' fight
But how would I know to let go
If no one told me
Ooo and everything that you know
You learn the hard way
Oh and somedays you don’t know
If it’s forward or back
That you’re goin’
Lookin’ for the finish line
Lookin’ for the finish line
Oh I’m lookin’ for the finish line
And somedays you don’t know
If it’s forward or back that you’re goin’
Lookin’ for the finish line
